How fast have you and your MINI gone?

My automatic 02 stock MINI cooper is an automatic with a slap shift.
But today i was taking it out torward the dragon and it reached a new highspeed, 90!! With it not being S, not having any aftermarket products, having a junky stock automatic transmission, and a lack of roadway. I was pretty impressed. :b

From: I live in sunny southern California

115 with plenty of pedal left.

Then thought, this is the wrong place to be doing this.

Save it for the track.

I took my stock 05 automatic out on the plains yesterday and looked down and saw it was at 80. So smooth and such an easy feel to it and lots of pedal left. Everytime I walk away from my little Cooper and could just jump for joy
